A compliment is something like a kiss through a veil.

Summary

This quote suggests that a compliment is a gesture of appreciation that may not be fully transparent or easily interpreted. Just as a kiss can be somewhat obscured or concealed by a veil, a compliment may also be subtle, indirect, or dressed up in polite language. It implies that compliments often involve a certain level of ambiguity or distance, creating a sense of intrigue or allure. Like a veil, compliments can add a layer of mystique or delicacy to the act of giving praise, making them both captivating and enigmatic.

It is my right to be uncommon. For I do not choose to be a common man, If I can, I seek opportunity. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the government look after me. I choose to take the calculated risk, to dream, to build, to fail or succeed. I choose not to barter incentive for a dole, I prefer the challenges of life to a guaranteed existence, the thrill of fulfillment to the state calm of Utopia. I will not trade my freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout.

Among the many things in the evolution (of movies) is to make the sound in the movie incredible. That's what you feel.
